{{Short description|Administrative village in Penjaringan, Jakarta}}
{{more citations needed|date=April 2012}}

==Etymology==
Contrary to popular belief, the name ''Pluit'' is not derived directly from ''fluit'' (''whistle'' in [Dutch](/source/Dutch_language)). The name was derived from a Dutch type of ship, the ''[fluyt](/source/fluyt)''. In the 17th century, a fluyt called ''het Witte Paard'' was shipwrecked on the eastern coast of the Angke River estuary.{{Citation needed|date=October 2015}}[{{Cite web|date=25 January 2013|title=Begini Ceritanya tentang Pluit|url=https://metro.tempo.co/read/456863/begini-ceritanya-tentang-pluit}}] This ship was subsequently used as a stronghold in addition to the already existing Castle Vijfhoek to ward off sporadic attacks of Bantenese forces. This ship was then known as ''De Fluit'', which later became ''Pluit''.[{{Cite web|date=2017-02-07|title=JAKARTA TEMPO DOELOE: Inilah Asal Usul Nama Pluit Jakarta Utara {{!}} Kabar24|url=https://kabar24.bisnis.com/read/20170207/387/626698/jakarta-tempo-doeloe-inilah-asal-usul-nama-pluit-jakarta-utara|access-date=2022-02-03|website=Bisnis.com|language=id}}]

==Pluit pumps==
Pluit pumps are in use continuously during the rainy season, especially since Pluit is located below sea level.[[http://metro.tempo.co/read/news/2013/01/25/083456863/begini-ceritanya-tentang-pluit Pluit below sea level], metro.tempo.co. Accessed August 6, 2022.]
Since its installation in 2002, the pumps have been useful in avoiding the seasonal flooding in the region that befalls Jakarta every four years. The Jakarta administration plans to build a new reservoir addition to the current reservoir with a value of Rp280 billion ($30.8 million), starting in 2012.[{{cite web |url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/11/26/agency-build-new-reservoir-pluit-next-year.html |title=Agency to build new reservoir in Pluit next year |date=November 26, 2011}}]
